Agreed, originally the idea of a console with beefy amounts of ram had me excited. Instead it's become generation rehash/remaster of the exact same games that came out a year ago on 360/PS3. What a waste of potential.

I kind of feel this is the best generation ever to leave consoles behind. I toyed with it on the PS3/360 gen. The few games I miss hardly seem worth dealing with the overwhelming garbage of poor frame rates and sub 1080p resolution.

I play everything @ 60-144fps at 1440p. I am not going back. I prefer my console games to be of the retro variety.
